In the meantime, try popping the abcess. It's basicly just full of puss and will drain just like a zit with a small needle. Your pain is coming from the swelling.

Try that first.

Also, sucking on whole cloves and letting them sit against the swollen gum area will have a numbing effect that will last for a while.

I didn't believe it either till I tried it.

Yeh good advice cloves work well better still oil of cloves. I once went on a solo camping holiday feeliong great the second day ley in mi tent my abcess started ,the pain was so bad i was ready for comming home then a head showed up on my gum so i stuck a sterilized pin in it and talk about a yellowstone eruption it was nasty but the pain went away in a flash, i can@t explain the feeling of relief after a full day of pain. The rest of the holiday was grean and pain free. Thank's for reading good luck and all the best from quincy.
